This Week's Comics - 28/12/11

A bit of a quiet week this week, only four comics, but there is two issues I am really excited about so it definately makes up for it. The Comics I'll be getting this week are X-Men: Legacy #260, Alpha Flight #7, Teen Titans #4 and Superman #4. Out of these I am most looking forward to Alpha Flight, which after a bit of a rocky start has me almost shaking with anticipation for this next issue. I first picked up this revived series when I noticed it by chance on a weekly comic run when I still had a shop that sold comics near me and decided to pick it up because I had always been interested in the characters and that is how the series remained to me for the first few issues. However with the brilliant writing, exceptional art and complex character development, especially with Northstar and Aurora, now has me completely hooked and since this story is now drawing to a close I'm expecting big things this issue, and with Wolverine involved this comic has to be good. Teen Titans is the other comic this week I'm really excited about. With only three issues out so far it hasn't quite gripped me as much as Alpha Flight has but this series is definately standing out of the new DC series to me. I'm enjoying the characters and the story, although its still moving fairly slowly so with a fight between Superboy and Wonder Girl this issue it will hopefully be picking up a bit. Superman so far has been quite good, not excellent but better than satisfactory, so I'm interested in seeing what happens next. This issue promises to finally reveal the origins of the mysterious aliens/monsters that have been attacking Superman which is good because too much ambiguity gets boring and a link to the new Action Comics series - I love it when you see links between two comics. X-Men Legacy is the comic I'm least looking forward to this week, having only read one issue of the series so far so my opinions around it are still in the air but I am interested in seeing if I grow to really like this series, the setting is right with this series falling on Wolverine's side of the Schism and characters I fairly like being teachers - although they probably shouldn't be - so I do have high hopes for this series.
